I Cannot Be Suspended By PDP – Iyorchia Ayu

The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Iyorchia Ayu has come out to say that he cannot be suspended.

He recently revealed that the PDP constitution expressly prohibits any organ of the party or executive committee at ward, state or national level to take any disciplinary measure against any member of the National Executive Committee, therefore only the NEC can suspend him.

According to him, the purported announcement of his suspension is only mischief, drama plus propaganda, and it was an exercise in futility that is derivable from gross ignorance and desperation.

Ayu added that the so-called suspension letter sent to him was even written by an illiterate.

His words, “For starters, Article 57(7) of the PDP constitution as amended in 2017 expressly prohibits any organ of the party or executive committee of the party at the ward or state levels from taking any disciplinary measure against any member of the party’s National Executive Committee.”

“The purported suspension is, therefore, an exercise in futility as it derives its strength majorly from gross illiteracy, ignorance, gambling and desperation. It has only mischief, drama and propaganda value.”

“But more than this, the so-called suspension letter was written by an illiterate before hand, and only given to the coerced members to sign somewhere in Makurdi.”

“This is why the original date is typexed and 24 March imposed on it. And this is also why it states that the presidential/NASS and governorship/state assembly elections held on 25th and 18th March, 2023 respectively.”

“From what we know, the document itself is fraudulent as the signatures of the ward executives were forged or obtained under duress.”
